Wii Head Tracking

Project page

The head tracking idea is old enough, but it's a really cool, simple application using nothing but a couple of wiimotes and a sensor bar. And the software of course. Throw in a nunchuck, and this could be the solution to all the waggle fps problems?

Some great stuff there, nice link.

The way the targets look like they are actually out in front of the screen does look really cool.

Very nice. This guy is a good talker. Presenter for a games show anyone?

Fascinating, I never realised the remote could be used in such a variety of ways. I can't really see people catching on and using the remote as is but surely somebody's got to create low-cost implementations using similar technologies.

Nintendo really need to hire that guy ASAP.

His videos and projects are top notch, TrackIR has used similar head tracking tech for quite a while on the PC.

Does anyone technically savvy know how difficult it would be to implement this tech in a game? I mean purely from a hardware point of view now, would it be that much more taxing on the Wii 2/PC/whatever?

Not when he sounds like a muppet.

/zing!

That's very cool - cheers for the link Quedex ;-)
